Scan and Go welcomes UKHO's decision to extend paper chart support until at least 2030.
The announcement recognises an important reality: navigation is not simply about technology. Sailors adopt new tools at different speeds, and many continue to rely on paper charts as part of a safe and sensible passage-planning process.
At Scan and Go, we believe the future is not a choice between paper and digital. The real challenge is helping sailors make better decisions from an increasing volume of information.
Whether that information comes from a chart table, a chartplotter, a weather forecast or a tide table, sailors are still trying to answer the same question:
"Given my boat, my crew and today's conditions... should I go or not?"
The UKHO's revised approach shows that successful innovation happens when technology supports sailors, rather than expecting sailors to adapt overnight to technology.
Our mission remains simple:
To give sailors confidence, not complexity.
